Abstract
Right renal artery reconstruction with dacron graft following arterial dissection post reperfusion in a living donor renal transplant and successful reimplantation
Highlights
A 48 year old female with end stage renal disease underwent a living donor renal transplant
We report an interesting case of a 48-year-old female with End Stage Renal Disease secondary to reflux nephropathy, maintained on peritoneal dialysis who underwent a living donor renal transplant
The kidney was recovered by laparoscopic donor nephrectomy procedure and shipped to our center with 16-hour cold ischemia time (CIT) on arrival
Summary
Rough handling of donor renal artery during procurement or benching can lead to intimal injury with subsequent arterial dissection following implantation. In cases where no donor vessels are available, which is generally the case in living donors, dacron graft reconstruction can be achieved quickly and efficiently, with acceptable outcomes
